I have a feeling it will be closer to February than not, only because nobody, in the sports world or anywhere else, has come anywhere close to meeting an intended timeline since this pandemic started. I'm still very optimistic something will be announced soon, though.

EDIT: nobody has met a timeline except the NFL, which essentially forced things, which the NHL and the NBA don't seem intent on doing.

I can't disagree really, but apparently the NHL and PA moved past the financials, which is always the biggest holdup. I'm optimistic. Very excited to get past this poop and finally get some dates to see the guys on the ice.

49ers and Titans ground and pound got them further then any Elite QB not named Patrick Mahomes last year.

I would not be shocked to see Cole Beasley not practice at all this week.

Yeah that, but he looked gassed after every play yesterday even early. He's battling something.

First catch he got rocked. Was in the tent a while. Think that may have something to do with him looking a bit off despite having a monster game.

That man took an absolute BEATING yesterday

The niners are a very physical team and I was worried if the Bills could handle the physicality, they answered last night.

The Bills were a 4th and goal from scoring on the first drive

They forced a 3 and out on the niners 1st drive but got a ticky tac PI call that extended the drive

A moss fumble on our own 5 yard line

And a garbage time TD given up away from a total domination on the scoreboard

The one thing the Bills need to do is clean up those little mistakes and games won't be as close on the scoreboard at the end.

But I don't care, this team...they're coming together on D, the offense is humming

Run the table from here on out!!!!

Side note: I actually like the Monday Night Football broadcast crew this year. I have fond memories of Steve Levy calling a good chunk of Sabres games during the 1999 Stanley Cup playoff runs for ESPN, but he does a really good job at football too.

I don’t “always”

And i prefer realistic expectations to 30point blowout predictions EVERY single week
And saying stuff like we could be the #1seed in the playoffs- no, we can’t. Not realistically

I still think 2 is a bit of a long shot, even if they beat Pittsburgh on Sunday. Pittsburgh still needs to lose another game after that, with 3 to go, and Buffalo would have to win out. It's possible, but Tomlin is one of the best coaches in football, and they will eventually right that ship at least somewhat. You're also asking the Bills to win 6 in a row, including the next 4 which is just really hard to do in the NFL. It's not unthinkable, and the Bills are talented enough to pull it off, but a lot has to go right for it to happen.

steelers play

@ bills
@bengals
colts
@browns

the colt game will be important for both teams, if the browns game means something for the browns, I can see the steelers dropping at least 2 games if we beat them


big if

So why haven’t we released him then??
Saving that Cap $$ could help give us room next year to keep Milano (or whoever)

Technically, they would only have to lose one more. Buffalo beating them and going 13-3 means the Bills would have the tiebreaker. That's still a lot that has to go right. Two more primetime games on the road after Sunday will not be a picnic.

Agreed
95% chance we end up the 3 or 4 seed
Then we win a home playoff game (hopefully),
and then go to PIT or KC & see how we really stack up

Even if we lose in round2,
I’d say that’s a successful season
